Le TerroirThe land is the birthplace of the wines of Maison Gilliard. Slope, soil, exposure to the sun are all factors to which the vineyard must marry and which our work must respect. Because the terroir is a heritage of which we are the depositaries. True to our legacy, we cultivate our vineyards as we live a tradition - thinking about the next generations.

La VigneThe vineyard is a constant work, an attention of every moment throughout the seasons. The vineyards of the Valais where the wines of the Maison Gilliard are born are delimited by large centenary walls torn from the mountain. Their well-arranged plants, which the workmen pace with their instruments in their hands, are a living testimony to this labor.

La PassionThe wines of Maison Gilliard are the fruits of a terroir - Sion, the Valais, Switzerland - and the heirs of a history. They are born of the earth, the respect, the attention paid to every detail.

The Classic WinesThe Classics are the wines that have made the legend of Maison Gilliard since its inception. Emblematic of the Valais and the Swiss wine heritage, they have been awarded several prizes and medal winners.
